Careful consideration should be taken when creating a DJ Playlist. Music plays a crucial role in setting the mood and atmosphere for a memorable wedding celebration. Music provides flow and ambience, highlights the deeper emotional meaning and provides excitement and elation.A good wedding DJ will be able to play the right songs at the right time, with a fair amount of diversification so as to meet the many different tastes of the guests.Compiling the wedding playlist needs to be a "team effort", involving both the bridal couple and the DJ. To ensure that the style of music is suitable, the wedding DJ should be familiar with the details of the wedding such as the theme and type of wedding. Conventional, modern and religious weddings all require specific types of music. There are certain parts of the reception that warrant specific songs, such as the bride's procession, the father/ daughter dance, the mother/ son dance, bouquet tosses and cake cutting. It is essential that the DJ knows when these formalities will take place so that he or she can plan ahead.If your wedding guests range in age from 5 years to 85 years it is best to ensure that the DJ playlist is well balanced with different genres of music. The main goal is to strike a balance between music the older and younger generations will both appreciate. It would be wise to have a look at the DJ's music collection to ensure that he or she has a little bit of everything in terms of music. Give the wedding DJ a list of songs that are significant to the bride and groom and special to friends and family. Song choices for special parts of the reception will reflect on the couple's personalities. Some couples will also give the wedding DJ a list of "do not play" songs, but the DJ must be given some flexibility to do his job. An experienced wedding DJ will be familiar with all areas of music and entertainment, he should be able to adapt to any crowd and keep the dance floor moving.Its important to remember that you must diversify your playlist. Try not to have anything more than two or three songs of the same genre in a row. Three songs gives about ten to twelve minutes of music, which is a good length of time for a dancing set. When the music changes, those who were dancing can rest up while those who like the new style can take to the dance floor. An experienced wedding DJ may be able to play up to six songs from the same genre provided he mixes out of each song quickly, about two minutes or so into the song. A well diversified playlist is a good one.
